God I hate "hate crimes"
Let's say I hate a guy. Can't stand him. Want him dead. Let's say I go beat him within an inch of his life. Is that a hate crime? I did it because I hate him, but if he's the same colour and everything as me it is not a hate crime, even though hatred was the motive.

Meanwhile if I get drunk and decide to punch the next person I see and that person just happens to be black or asian or gay, it's now a hate crime. No hate was involved, it wasn't done for nefarious reasons. Just because I was drunk and wanted to hit someone. It's a hate crime even though stupidity, not hatred, was the motive.

It's a completely ridiculous product of the imagination of out-of-touch politicians who's only goal is to remain PC and get re-elected. It's a stupid, stupid law and an example of how far society has fallen.

Patiently waiting for someone to bring back sax solos and keytars non ironically.

When I saw how many "non" hate crimes there were on Youtube I shook my head in disgust.

Agreed. Further dividing everyone into categories really doesn't help anything. Unless you show your love and support to people in the form of violent crimes against them. All crimes are hate crimes in one form or another.
